tionable as plates, "Zeno" shows his ig- norance of the business and union mat tes. would like "Zeno" to tell me what institutions must not be used by all, 'as railroads, etc." If Mir. "Zeno" is Socialist, and he, as he says, has been taught that all men have right to accu- mulate what they can through the man. lpulation of land, he shows decided ig- norance of the fundamental objects and principles of Socialism. l would advise "Zeno' to procure box and use it as his own, for pulpit, and shout his ideas to any who cared to listen." 1 don't be- lleve he would get second audience. He never supposed that the State should monopolize newspapers, and therefore ideas Now, if the printers were to allow the unrestricted use of plates, and the Socialistc State should not control newspapers, what would be- come of the printers who would be left idle through the use of plates? Pursue some other occupation, l suppose? Oh, yes doubt very much if, in the mat ter of Socialistic State controlling newspapers, it would be much of an ob- ject to control such gigantic ideas as emanate from the mammoth intellect of such as "Zeno" ...
 If, as Mr. "Zeno" infers, the use of plates in newspapers were to benefit the community at large, as should be the case with all labor-saving devices, it would be different, In that event the community would find a way to take care of it's printers.
 Before 'Zeno" writes on the subject of trades unions again would advise him to obtain a few points from some good union man, and thus become better enabled to write more intelligently, if he persists in expounding his ideas; or let him write on something he is posted on, or not at all H.

To tHe HOfhHieh AdtOcdte:
 Of all the idiosyncraces that have come to my observation that represented in the letter of ''Zeno," reprinted in the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE from recent issue of the Adrance, stands at the head.
 In the first place be tells us that were the Typograpical Union to demand news paper publishers to double the size of their sheets it would be as right as it IS to exclude plates. This, in the eyes of any one who is posted, is too ridiculous to need comment. In the second place, he informs the readers of his gigantic ideas that union men should demand that all standing advertisements be distributed and set up for every edition. In this even we would give, on the ordinary dailies, extra employment to about two or three men in each office If we allow the use of plates we would dispense with from two to six men. How much would we gain by the operation? By saying that standing form should be as objec-

A bull of pedigree and name From out his stall one morning came, And just at reddening dawn of day Went strolling down the king highway. His heavy-horned head he sinks, And walks and ruminates and thinks; Of late the brute has waxed so wise That he can cen philosophize, Thus he, surveying field and wood, Finds almost all things very good; But well-nigh wild with rage is he To watch the sunrise OCT the sea. Such cattle's wrath is ever stirred By aught that's red, we oft have heard The red reflection in his path Drives this beast nearly mad with wrath. Exaggerated on the shore He stands, and naught can do but roar Fen louder though he snor and stamp, The dawn will scarce for him decamp. Too hot with fury boils his blood He butts his way into the flood. That bull was drowned-but here we see Yet many more such brutes as he.

SOCIAL SCIENCE FOR THE
 PEOPLE,,
BLACK AND WHITE SLAVES.

The wrong of slavery was the princi- pie, sanctioned by law and defended by public opinion wherever slavery existed that certain white men and women had right to hold certain black men and women-and of course their children as their property, and to use them as their capital This was the wrong Gar rison and Phillips denounced, and that the public opinion of the world (except where slavery existeD was finally brought to denounce. This change of public opinion ultimately brought about the great war that overthrow the tre- mendous wrong forever. The wrong was so vast in its dimensions, and there were so many powerful persons and in- tluences directly and indirectly interest ed in its maintenance, that there was no other way but that of war that could practically deal with it.
 The labor question is just such ques- ton as was the slavery question. Our present system of labor and business rests upon another great fundamental wrong with which there is no way of practically dealing but by the entire overthrow of the wrong itself The so- called abolition of slavery simply abol- ished property in man; nothing more. The slaves were no longer anyhodys property. Their status then became just the same as that of all other non- propertied laborers the world over; just the same as.that of our working men and women.
 What was the reason that slaves were valuable property? What was the ob- ject of the slaveholder in possessing slaves? They were owned wholly and solely because they were useful as capi tai. A man possessed of them could make them work for him. If he owned but one, he could live an idle life him. self If he owned many, he conld enrich himself with the products of their labor. But he could not take to himself all the products of their labor. Slaves had to be fed. clothed and housed, or they could not have worked; they would have been no use to him as capital; in fact, they would have died.
 So much for slave labor. The very essence of it was that the slave had to work for somebody besides himself; another man got all the products of his labor except what was barely necessary to continue him in a healthy working condition. Now, when the slave ceased to be slave, when he was "emancipa- ted" from the condition of property, what change did take place in his condition of life! Was he now able to work for himself and no one else! Did he cease to be capital for another man: Alas. no! There he stands on the high way, with his brawny limbs, able to work, but with no house to shelter him and his; only the scanty clothing on his back, and even that not his; no food, no tools, no cattle, no seeds, no lands In short, there he stands, as thousands and millions of white laborers stand, with ability and skill to labor, but without possessing any of the means of labor without capital Clearly he must starve. He is so much capital without an owner.
 But" you say, ''does he not own himself." Yes, perhaps; but ability to work and willingness to work are not enough; ne is without the means of

To the Workmen's AdrOcate:

DEAR SIR--The copy of my translation of Jakoby's Object of the Labor Move ment which you sent me contains the Company. l feel it my duty to call attention to the following misrepresen- tations contained in the catalogue:
 1. The Object of the Labor Movement is characterized as "a practical work opon Cooperation and Profit Sharing" This is false. The contents corresponds exactly to the title of the pamphlet. And in my preface I have among other things distinctly pointed out the Anti Socialistic and reactionary character of profit sharing, and the swindle that is carried on by means of it by the bour- geoisie.
 ?. The Condition of the Laboring Class in England by Frederick Engels price p cents, is announced as in press, for publication by the N. Y. Labor News Co. Both parts of this announcement are false. The book is in press for pub lication by John w. Lowell, l6 Vesey Street New York and will be sold at $l.25 copy.
 l claim the space for this correction because these misrepresentation are misleading for the public.
 So much for the present. Labor pa pers please copy.
 Yours very truly,
 FLORENCE KELLEY WIsCHNEwETzKY
 NOTE-The writer of the above was informed of the fact that the announce ment of Engels book was being crossed off in catalogues before mailing, but still requested publication of the above as written. The book was withdrawn after the catalogues were printed, thus put ting the Labor News Company to the trouble and expense of erasing
